My personal pet peeve is people using "societal" when "social" is just as appropriate.

Did you miss the whole Jan 6th thing?

Social media's impact on society is relevant to technology. I would even say it is one of the most important questions in relation to technology today. So, how an owner tries to silence criticisms of his social media site for spreading fascism seems relevant to me.

Maybe op edited the comment, but they did end it with this:

Secular France has this kind of chaplains, and it's great; somehow I don't believe it's possible today in Florida.

I've got a Frankenstein setup that wasn't really thought out that well when I started. I'll probably end up changing it later. If you go the Proxmox route, check out the partitioning suggestions carefully before you begin.

I've got an old minitower that replaced a mini PC setup. I wanted to bring my hdd into the box and connect via SATA instead of an external HDD on USB. I'll probably get a bigger case to make installing HDDs more convenient.

I don't really understand the partitioning to be honest. I have a 512gb nvme that is split up into a couple of partitions for VMs, ISO's, backups and things for Proxmox. Then I have some other HDDs and SSDs that I use for files. Nothing in raid yet, but I'm hoping to add a couple of more HDDs. Then I'll connect them to OMV and put them in raid.

I'm currently hosting radarr, sonarr, prowlarr and overseerr. It's really convenient.

When I was in your shoes about 8 months ago, I opted for Proxmox and don't regret it. Since then, I've been able to try different NAS OSs, experiment with different hosted services, etc. it gives you a lot of freedom to set up a VM, try a bunch of stuff, and then delete it and implement a fresh solution when you're satisfied with something.

If you do that, you might consider having the operating system and VMs on one disk. If you decide on NAS software, many pass through the storage drives to the NAS directly.

I'm probably going to end up with the following:

  • Base Proxmox
  • NAS VM - OMV with NFS shares available to other services, SMB for the network
  • VM for -arr services
  • Plex on an LXC - a script helped me set the up
  • (Maybe) VM for home assistant
  • VM for other home services I need, like Immich
  • Maybe a VM for hosting things publicly
  • Testing VM

I hope this is helpful!

So hard to tell if this is sarcastic.

Well done!

I have an off-site Synology that is also killing me trying to get it connected. Did you realize they don't allow ssh on their VPN service?

Do this in tandem with Biden taking full advantage of the current immunity to utterly destroy the Trump campaign since it is a threat to democracy. We'll get that amendment passed in no time.

Tesla already had a place called the plantation where the minority workers were sent to work.

This reminds me of another factoid - most people never write in their dreams. I wonder if there is a relationship.

 

[T]he report's executive summary certainly gets to the heart of their findings.

"The rhetoric from small modular reactor (SMR) advocates is loud and persistent: This time will be different because the cost overruns and schedule delays that have plagued large reactor construction projects will not be repeated with the new designs," says the report. "But the few SMRs that have been built (or have been started) paint a different picture – one that looks startlingly similar to the past. Significant construction delays are still the norm and costs have continued to climb."

 

The UI for discarding a comment always confuses me.

If I want to discard a comment I'm writing, I have to hit "cancel," then I'm given two options, cancel or discard. I think I must follow the previous naming convention, so I hit cancel, but instead, I have to hit discard to discard the comment.

I think it would be better to have "Discard" as the element in the screen when you write a comment. Then, when you confirm the decision, it is the same nomenclature, discard or cancel.

If you want, I can add a screenshot.

 

Unraid has come out with their new pricing plan.

I have mistakenly said in some comments here before that they were doing away with their lifetime plan. They still have it, but it is just more expensive. They have introduced a couple of cheaper annual subscription plans.

If anyone is still on the fence about buying Unraid, you have a week until the new pricing plan comes into affect.

After seeing so many examples of companies really screwing up their pricing changes, it is refreshing to see Unraid do this so well.

Anyone else feel that? Strongest earthquake I've been in.
